Sony has time and again labeled the PS4 the most powerful console ever created, and many high-profile multiplatform games like Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, and Tomb Raider perform better, visually, on Sony's machine compared to Microsoft's. But this might not always be the case.

Sniper Elite 3 senior producer Jean-Baptiste Bolcato said he's sure the Xbox One development process will get better over time and developers will be able to achieve 1080p more regularly.

"We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore," he said at the time. "It’s got better and they are quite comparable machines. The Xbox One is a bit more multimedia, a bit more hub-centric so its a bit more complex. There's stuff you can and can't do because it’s a sort of multimedia hub. PS4 doesn't have that. PS4 is just a games machine."
